CAn you heat Medela storage bottles in this?

Yes, the height of the storage will stand out of the water but it would work. Overall, we found it to work nice with Dr brown or advent bottles, Hope this helps.

Don't be sorry. It's all overwhelming because there are so many products that offer so many different things!! YES, technically this is just a storage set. However - if you CHOOSE to use Medela Bottles for feeding, they make nipples that attach to these storage bottles. But .. no need to specifically choose bottles for that reason. There are TONS of bottles out there.

Yes. I can't think of any reason why not. But it takes a few hours to get the temp up high enough to kill any bugs that might be lurking, so it might not be energy-efficient to do it every time you come back from the library. There's a list of things not to put into the product because they might be harmed: makeup, cell phone, and the like. Shoes, coats, purses, books won't be hurt by heat.

It can be used with many different types of bottles but if they don't have straight sides it takes forever to heat since only a little of the bottle is in contact with the heating element

I'm pretty sure you're not supposed to heat the storage bags. I always thawed frozen breast milk overnight in the fridge then put it in a bottle and heated it using the warmer.

Not the whole pitcher of course, but yes, individual bottles can be warmed up in hot water or a bottle warmer.

If you store the milk in bags, instead of bottles, the bags are best warmed in a bowl of warm water; this goes especially quick, if you store the bags lying flat. I breastfed, and hardly gave bottles, I used my warmer a couple of times, but found it to be unnecessary. Personal preference, I suppose. I had a number of different bottles that I tried, all of them fit in the warmer. Later, I used this a few times to heat up frozen food, it worked well, but I didn't stick with it.

You could, but it might not leave a lot of room for milk storage. The ice packs in this bag fit neatly into little mesh pockets under the lid and on the sides, and I don't think the medela would fit there. The ice packs that came with this are great though.

Have not tried this unit. Megahome makes another unit specially designed for essential oils. It has a lower heat.

I used mine in our bottle warmer. But make sure the tops are on good, so water doesn't accidentally get in.

I would be worried warming any breast milk storage bottle in the kind of bottle warmer that boils away the water. That's just me. We got the kiinde warmer for that reason.

yes you could use the bottle warmer. We leave the bottle in the warmer for a minute or 2 and it'll be nice an warm. Depends on the warmer.

Yes. This one is perfect: Bottle Cooler Bag and Ice Packs for Breastmilk Storage. Can Fit Into Medela Pump-in-style Carry Bag, and Can Hold Upto 5 Lansinoh Breastmilk Storage Bags

Probably, but I would not. If it was the painted ones the paint would burn off, and if it was the brushed one it would discolor. Chances are the bottle would warp under that kind of heat too.

I have used it to heat our glass bottles. It worked fine and we had no issues with the bottle.

By "warming" it, do you mean heat it in the microwave or in hot water? I haven't needed to warm the bottles yet, but you could set the whole thing in hot water, although the water will obviously drip from the sleeve when using it, I would think. These are VERY well made glass bottles, and the sleeve is very well made and durable as well.

I had a Medela. I imagine it would work just fine as it's really just two circles/holes cut out and the suctions from the bottles get inserted there. I believe it's pump agnostic. The manufacturer could confirm.
